No question. Marvel even tried hoodwinking people with "fans demanded Silk get an ongoing, we totally NEVER planned her to have a book" in an attempt to scoop Gwen's heat. Ha.

I know you and Leo were just joking around, but I sadly think that this'll come true.

Young boys are still a target demographic for comics, and they aren't afraid to strip the females of all their clothes to make a few bucks.

Considering all the females costumes are still figure hugging with latex outfits, short skirts on some of them, and huge boobs all around, I'd say that's a yes.

I really believe/hope this is changing. New research suggests nearly half of comic fans are women and girls, and the industry as a whole has made much more effort to embrace and foster diversity recently. Women and girls have always liked this stuff, obviously, but it seems like the PTB are starting to realize that they can't ignore nearly half of their potential readership anymore if they want to survive.

Marvel's got a pretty decent track record of this lately, and even DC is starting to play catch-up: the New 52 was almost entirely aimed at that "badass dudes and hot chicks" teen-boy mindset/demographic, but the "Divergence" announcements last week make it look like they're making a real effort to change course.

Oddly enough, depending on the roster, I might actually be interested in this. They lost me on Spidey, but that doesn't mean I've written off some of my other faves.
